In Reply to: Dale Earnhardt - an idea posted by Randy G on February 18, 2001 at 20:58:27:

Seeing people's comments on the topic, you'd think Dale had never put anyone into the wall before. If anyone had watched him race, you would be quickly convinced the only move he knew was to run his competitors off the track... he'd always be hammering away at the inside rear of whoever was in front of him. He was responsible for his share of debilitating crashes, that were not "accidents" by any stretch of the imagination.

No offense intended, but lets not sugar-coat someone who was more commonly regarded as a thug on wheels. Yes, there are always room for safety improvements, but ultimately you can't protect people from themselves.
